History: (Savage Avengers I#11 (fb)) - A young boy was sold to Kulan Gath as a slave in exchange for coins. For years, Kulan Gath abused the boy, who began to think their relationship would end in murder. Deciding to strike first, the young boy poisoned Kulan Gath then fed his corpse to Gath's hogs, covering up the murder. Assuming Kulan Gath's home and name, the young boy (now calling himself Kulan Gath) vowed to never again be a victim and turned to the elder Gath's spell books to learn mysticism.

(Savage Avengers I#11 - BTS) - Millennia later, the sorcerer Dr. Strange viewed the life of the younger Kulan Gath using the mystic Eye of Agamotto, witnessing the younger's murder of the elder Kulan Gath.

Comments: Created by Gerry Duggan and Butch Guice.

    The tale of the elder Kulan Gath was told by Dr. Strange, who was mystically viewing the younger Kulan Gath's life. When Strange saw the land in which Kulan Gath was based, he questioned that it could be perhaps Stygia but was unable to confirm such.

    The elder Kulan Gath's story was mentioned by Dr. Strange as being "twelve millennia ago." If my math is correct, that would place the elder Kulan Gath as living around 9980 B.C. which does indeed fit into the Hyborian era.
I think you're being too exact with the timing. Conan was active (and encountered the younger Kulan Gath) circa 10,000 BC, but the exact dates are not specified.
